Scoring Contemporary Art Actions
The quotes and scores assembled in Keep Walking Intently: Scoring Contemporary Art Actions by Lisa Moren, which have been given graphic form by Margaret Re, are traces of a “movement” in the true sense of the term: Not an art movement with programs and manifestoes, but the sometimes slow and sometimes quick, sometimes precise and sometimes imprecise trajectory of certain ideas or impulses as they have passed from person to person in the course of the last 50 years or so. It is a type of movement that is perhaps best compared to Robert Filliou’s Whispered Art History: Endlessly repetitive and pointless in terms of content but fascinating in terms of method, which is all about person-to-person contact.
